"Catwalk" is the true-to-life story of Tiger, a young, comfort-loving tabby cat who suddenly finds herself adrift in a big, impersonal, and occasionally hostile world.

Her odyssey ultimately takes her halfway across the continent, and brings her in contact with such diverse characters as a Cajun fisherman, a game warden and his wife, a trio of hoboes, and a Mexican-American family.

I have always loved cats, even as a child. Over the years my husband and I have been slaves to more than a dozen furry felines, all but one of them rescued strays. Catwalk A Feline Odyssey is a composite of several of these dear companions, enhanced with a little imagination, of course.
